New system will be available in all 33 Tiger Direct Stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, providing customers with a hands-on experience before they buy

El Monte, CA - March 17, 2011 - iBUYPOWER, a leading innovator in gaming PCs, is excited to announce the availability of the new Intel Core i7-960 powered Gamer Extreme 966 system at all 33 Tiger Direct stores in 5 states and Puerto Rico. This will be the first time that iBUYPOWER customers in major markets like Chicago and Miami will have to opportunity for a hands-on experience with the system before they buy.

"Our customers are hardcore gamers that expect a flawless gaming experience each time they sit down in to play," said Darren Su, Vice President of iBUYPOWER. "We wanted to share that positive experience with new customers, allowing them to test drive one of our systems at a local Tiger Direct retail center."

iBUYPOWER armed the Gamer Extreme 966 with a liquid cooled Core i7-960 because of the processor's ability to recognize its work load and shift secondary activities to unused cores in order to guarantee a smooth, uninterrupted gaming session.

Housed in the Xion Echo case, the Gamer Extreme 996 also features an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 graphics card, 6GB of DDR3 Memory, 700W power supply and a 1TB hard drive, all for just $1,159.99.
